For almost 30 years, Temira (they/them) has been making the most of the Gorge: riding river swell, shredding powder, and cycling all the gravel and pavement and trails. This is Temira’s playground, their gym… their life’s work.

This passion led Temira to take a vow: In 2006, Temira decided to provide the most accurate, hyper-local weather forecasts possible. Today, Temira’s forecasts have become an essential resource for thousands of skiers, snowboarders, wind sports enthusiasts and Gorge commuters. With Temira’s guidance, you can plan ahead, time your sessions perfectly, and just plain have more fun! But the story doesn’t end there.

There’s “Temira’s Awesome Travel Advisory Service” and “Valuable Advice for Gardeners Inhabiting Neighboring Areas” – the Gorge’s premier microclimate forecast and gardening information. When winter storms, extreme heat, hail, or avalanches on SR-14 and I-84 threaten, TATAS keeps everyone and their tomatoes and giant pumpkins and cash crops safe.

Temira’s relentless efforts keep the forecasts flowing. But it ain’t easy: each forecast takes a couple of hours. That’s where you come in.

Gorge Wind Forecast

We’ll see gusty westerlies today. The rainy western Gorge gets gusty 16-19. Out east we’ll see gusty 17-21. Tomorrow morning brings light wind. As an upper low heads toward the WA/BC border, winds pick up. We should see gusty 16-19 in the central Gorge, but if you head out east, you’ll find 23-26 by 2pm, 24-28 by 5pm, and maybe a little stronger wind later, blowing all night long (yes, that’s pretty useless). There will be leftover wind Tuesday morning in the 17-21 range from Stevenson all the way to Roosevelt.

Have an awesome day today!
